Do you take into consideration your environmental impact when choosing a place to live?

Do you consider the long term effects of global warming? the continual water supply? pollution? flooding? risk of natural events?

Although we’re living in London (and not in a flood-prone area) our long-term aim is to build back in NZ, or … Scotland, Wales or an area of outstanding natural beauty (and resources)

We have several places in mind, but as these are long-term we have the luxury of time on our side to discuss and evaluate the above.

We’re looking at being self sufficient, to the extent of generating our own power (and clean water supply)

How soon we will achieve this is anyones guess.

But we’ll keep you posted with progress.

I was shocked to read this morning about the British Mediterranean Airways (BMed) technique for holding their London Heathrow slot.

Basically BMed have been operating round-trip flights between Heathrow and Cardiff International six days a week since October! Unbelievable.

In a country (well world) trying to combat climate change and reduce emissions it seems to me to be totally outrageous that this is happening. They have said that it was a way of protecting their highly sought-after landing slots at Heathrow, which have been known to fetch up to £10m each.

It does mean however that more than five tonnes of C02 has been pumped into the atmosphere on each 140-mile journey.

Absolute madness. It makes a mockery of the proposals that the government are looking at with the air tax.

Why not contact them and tell them what you think!! http://www.flybmed.com

Sorry for the recent lack of posts, its not that there is nothing to talk about, simply not enough hours in the day!! Isn’t that the story of everyones life.

Watch this space for an upcoming review of the log maker which is sat waiting for a day that I can get outside and play with it without catching pneumonia.
